Every finished book, in the order it was finished
Taking the books down from the shelf…
passages, marked by hand
The shelf of marks
Each spine is a book; each line, a passage
The Pace
Books finished each year
How fast, and when did it change?
Many books at once
How long does a book stay open, and how many are open together?
The Habit
Every day a passage was marked
Is reading a daily habit, or does it come in waves?
The reading clock
What time of day does the reading happen?
The Taste
What the stars mean
How generous is this reader, and do the best-rated books get marked the most?
Time travel
When were the books written, against when they were read?
Subjects over the years
Which phases did the reading pass through?
Authors returned to
Who earned a second book, and a third?
The Malayalam shelf
The books read in the mother tongue
The Unfinished
From first page to last
Of the books begun, how many were finished, deferred or abandoned?
Where books lose the reader
At what depth, and in which subjects, do books get set aside?
The Margins
Where in the book
Does attention hold to the end?
Words of each era
What was this reader preoccupied with, and when?
The Reader
A thematic journey across the eras
Five eras, and the threads that run between them
A reader profile
Tendencies read from behaviour, not a personality test
Shortcomings
Of the data and the method
Of the reader
The Clock That Ran Backwards
Stamped date against true date
When did the Kindle's clock break, and by how much?
